The Workers’ Compensation Board has recently announced proposals
to severely cut compensation benefits for workers who have been injured
on the job. Business owners and employers are strong advocates of these
proposals, which have the potential to be incredibly devastating to workers,
their families, and their loved ones. The proposals are slated to go into
effect 1/1/18.

Since workers are prohibited from suing their employers for workplace injuries,
they rely heavily on the support from workers’ comp benefits in
order to help them survive the difficulties following an accident or injury.
This makes the proposals even worse; the New York Workers’ Compensation
Alliance alleges that these proposals will transfer the money that rightfully
belongs to injured workers to insurance companies and the like.

As a worker, your rights are at stake. If these damaging proposals go through,
countless people will be affected for years to come. Workers won’t
be entitled to any money for their costly medical bills, loss of work
or wages, and emotional distress.
